Abstract (en)
An internal combustion engine has a crankcase (20), an output crankshaft (16), and an input shaft assembly. The input shaft assembly has an input shaft (42) and a crank plate (44) press-fit connected to the input shaft (42). The crank plate (44) comprises a single sheet metal member with slightly elongate radial slots (76) adapted to receive the crankpin (28) of the output crankshaft (16). The slots are open ended to allow for misalignment between the output crankshaft and the input shaft whereby the crankpin can longitudinally move in its crank plate slot. <IMAGE>
